I took this on a dive trip to Mozambique. Underwater results were better than I expected, but autofocus is on slow end and panning can be very blurry. Current or surge can make it difficult to get clear shots. I used the red filter, which improved results even on deeper dives. The red filter attaches externally to the waterproof casing, so be sure to flood the space between the filter and the case lense before or at the beginning of the dive or you will have a water line across your video.

I did not use the external light, but I would expect this would improve the color as usual.

Contrary to some other postings on the internet, the camera will work with up to 32GB cards. However, my experience has been about 1 hour of video/GB at the highest resolution. The battery lasted over an hour; more than sufficent for a one tank.

Video out of the water is very good and truly shows the HD. The same panning/auto-focus issues remain.

Good all around underwater camera and video if your not looking for professional results. I have used the camera and video several times now and results are ok. Camera is easy to use but needs some weighting for underwater use, it floats. The built in flash and video light is useless in the underwater housing. The lights are blocked by some sort of controller or plastic piece. I'm sure photos and videos would yeild better results with an external light source.
